Holy Moments

Is Holiness even possible today in the workplace? I read a book this weekend by Matthew Kelly, titled “The Biggest Lie in the history of Christianity”. In this book Mr. Kelly asserts that Christians don’t believe holiness is even possible today and that belief causes us to shrink back from trying to even make a difference. I agree with Mr. Kelly.

Mr. Kelly asserts that Holy Moments are possible every day as we encounter people, let’s apply that thought to our workplaces. I don’t think Mr. Kelly would mind.

The Time Is NOW

Are you living out your faith in your work today. Do people know that your life has been radically transformed by the power of Jesus and His death on the cross?

Do people know that Jesus is the only hope for the problems of this world?

We are the messengers of hope, sent by Jesus. We have been silent about the transformation in our lives. Our country has suffered by our silence. It’s time to speak and share the good news of Jesus and how He is radically transforming our lives.

The bottom line

Friends – today just let me bottom line this. Jesus summed up the law and the prophets in this short paragraph.

Matthew 22: 37-40 37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[f] 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Celebrate Covid-19

Soon we will get back to our work space, and socializing. We are ready to renew friendships face to face with coworkers and employees and friends at church. It’s time to live but let’s remember to celebrate the valuable lessons we have learned in the last 10 weeks.

Ready for a change?

One of my favorite memories as a young mom occurred on May Day. My best intentions actually materialized when the kids and I created little May baskets full of flowers and successfully delivered them to our neighbors. I always loved May Day because it was like playing “legal” ding-dong-ditch. We would put the basket of flowers on the porch of a neighbor, ring the doorbell, and then run away. The kids would giggle as we hid, trying to watch as the door opened to find a fresh surprise on the doorstep.

Unity - finally

Jesus prayed the passage in John 17:20-23 out loud in front of a crowd. He was driving home a point. Unity among Christ Followers would demonstrate the reality of His presence in the world. Martha and I have made a marketplace observation, Christ Followers at work are unified in a common cause…

Common sense or Christ-led

Are you tired of being stuck inside and longing for some new surroundings? Let’s take a little virtual trip today to Pennsylvania Amish Country. The rolling green farm lands, the peaceful, soul-nourishing atmosphere and don’t forget the Whoopie pies.

Am I listening?

Have you ever noticed how certain words or themes show up over and over again during particular seasons of life? You hear them in a song, on a podcast, or a meme on social media. Well, a couple of different words keep surfacing for me lately, would you like to hear more about them? You’ve probably been hearing these words too – I just feel like they’ve been in bold font so I would notice them.

Share Each Other's Burdens

It used to be that absenteeism was a problem in the workplace. But today, it’s the opposite: It’s called “Presenteeism”. A company’s leadership cannot spend all day ministering to their employees; So, what’s the answer?

The World's Greatest Consultant Is.....

What if today, we worked as if the living God and His wisdom were inside us? Would we be doing different work? In a different way? Would we think higher, grander thoughts? Would we expect and GET bigger results?
